As a job requirement why not? Any type of reasonable security requires that people be properly identified. The financial institution and it's clients deserve to be sure that the people working there have all been properly screened. Just be glad they're not asking for a DNA sample.
Having said that being fingerprinted before you get the job is totally out of line. A limited background check as part of the screening process is reasonable precaution before offering a job. But requiring a medical or fingerprinting someone befoer they get the job is too much.
I used to own almost 18 feet of vinyl, I used to have a couple of hundred cassettes, now I have dozens of CDs. Notice the trend here? The RIAA obviously doesn't. I stopped buying because they told me it wasn't mine anymore. The music was no longer what I wanted to buy, the music became what they wanted to sell. And the RIAA have no one to blame but themselves, no matter what they say.
I used to listen to radio, I used to listen to FM, now I listen to online radio. There is that trend again. How does the RIAA think they will sell music if no one is listening?

That's the point, these are the members of the TV shows cast. The reason that most of us are interested in seeing the movie is that the cast from the TV show were so good together.
As to where will we see this movie? With Universal/Vendi pitching it I'm sure it will make it to the "local megaplex".
I don't see Ron Glass("the shepard") listed in the returning cast list. I wonder what is going on there? While not my favourite character, the shepard seems to have a more shady past than any.
from the press release:
...The Serenity cast will include such returning "Firefly" cast members as Nathan Fillion as Captain Malcolm 'Mal' Reynolds, Gina Torres as Zoe Warren, Morena Baccarin as Inara Serra, Jewel Staite as Kaylee Frye, Adam Baldwin as Jayne Cobb, Sean Maher as Dr. Simon Tam and Summer Glau as River Tam.
Yeah, just ask Steve Jackson about that. He was served with a warrent(literally at gun point) signed with an "X" that he was not allowed to see. Jackson's lawyer(after he arrived) was told that they could file for permission to "see" the warrent later.
The FBI then took everything including the office furniture and phones.
Someone figured out how to bypass weak authentication? And then used a university/government system with huge bandwidth and storage to keep files on?
Gee I never heard of that before. Isn't this the system that made warez what it is?
Yeah but after climbing the flights of stairs to ask if you want coffee made, IM says time and worn joints. PLus i have a freind with a disabled wife they can be in different rooms and still stay in touch.
Until very recently my city (Winnipeg, MB) had a very active Coleco ADAM users group. Matter of fact someone in the group has breadboarded a paralell i/o card for the ADAM. Now they can slave a PC with an ATA drive for program storage so that all the ADAM files are in one place.
Most of these guys have a few generations of ADAMs that they are still using almost daily.
The problem is not he laws. There are plenty of laws and the Canadian goverment even has a provacy officer. The problem is that everyone "assumed" that the drives had been wiped.
I personally feel that this is one of those things that should not be outsourced. At the very least the banks should have hired a student or an intern to physically remove the drives so they cuold be destroyed.
I sometimes long for the 80s. Sure I might wait years for a software release, but with a few exceptions, it always worked. And it usually worked as advertised. I miss products like WordPerfect 5, it worked right out of the box. And if I had a problem I could call someone and actually get help, as opposed to a prepared statement.
So I feel it needs another article: 11. A software vendor will provide real support for the products they sell. Or A software vendor will outline in detail what; if any, support they provide and what guidelines they use.
Since most companies see no "Real Value" in IT, it is no wonder that IT jobs are moving to where labour is cheapest. When the major computer manufacturers and the major software companies are already outsource thier own support and programming. How long do you really think it will before your job goes "away'?
Sorry my mistake, I got GRRM mixed up with Robert E. Vardeman in my head. I don't know why but I was thinking GRRM worked on the Cenotaph road series. I had to go check my colloection.
Since I don't belive that a single act of terrorism has been enacted by a Canadian citizen or Canadian immigrant against the US since the war of 1812. And the last acts of terrorism in Canada were during the FLQ crisis in the 60's. I don't see how the US has right to talk about Canada and our government policies.
I told my ex-boss that I was expecting $120 Canadian/hr with a four hour minimum call out fee, paid in advance. I would analyze the situation when I arrived and would give a better estimate of how long it would take to fix the problem, but my fee was not negotiable.
He said he would pay me what he used to per hour. So I said, "no thanks". I don't owe an ex-employer anything for a job I used to do.
His problem is not my problem unless he pays me to make it my problem.
My understanding(and that of Employemnt Canada at the time I was fired without cause) is that under Canadain Law you do not have to sign anything for severance pay. Just because the company's lawyer wants you to sign something doesn't mean you have to.
However if you choose not to sign, the company does not have to give you anything but what they are required to by law, which varies by province.
Under Canadian Law the only conditions that apply are those that you signed when you joined the company or that you signed while an "active" employee as a term of continuing employment.
I have two suggestions:
1)Simply crossout those parts of the severance agreement that you do not like, then sign the document. The paperwork they tender is just an "offer" not a "contract". You are entitled to change it as you see fit. If the company's rep takes the signed "offer" back then you have "acceptance" on the company's part. This forms the "contract" and the company must pay you as they offered to.
2)Get a lawyer. Since you obviously feel the company is trying to pull something, get a lawyer right away.

Not only do less with this card; but what do you want to bet they charge 300% more for the "priveledge" of doing less.

I don't think GRRM has ever written a stnad alone book. He almost always writes 6+ book series.
